Heather Levy is a born and bred Oklahoman and graduate of Oklahoma City University’s Red Earth MFA program for creative writing. Her work has appeared in numerous journals, including CrimeReads and NAILED Magazine. The New York Times called her Anthony-nominated debut Walking Through Needles “a spellbinding novel at the nexus of power, desire, and abuse that portends a bright future” and the L.A. Times called it “a standout for its frank but sensitive exploration of trauma and desire.” Her novels focus on kink-positive stories centered around badass women.  

Among other things, Heather and Carter discuss the various book conferences they attend, how Heather learned to write a full novel, and her publishing experience. At the end of their conversation, they tell a story about a plan gone wrong starting from a sentence in Stolen Things by R. H. Herron.
